File Under: Comcast to FCC "Yep we're douche bags, by right"

Post on ZDnet by Russell Shaw, brings to light yesterday's filing made by cable giant Comcast to the FCC. They claim that shutting down P2P data is well within their right (it is, if you actually tell people your are going to do it before hand), and it is necessary to maintaining their networks. As you tech savvy readers know, this is kind of BS.

If they were upfront and told customers, that during high traffic times, their P2P and other bandwidth intensive apps would cause the data flow be throttled back and/or shutdown; they may have a case for not being douche bags. Since they had to be caught before they openly admitted the practice, they are douche bags.
